THE ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES

The Assembly of Delegates is the highest decision making body of the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials.

Each chamber elects up to three Delegates, thus giving each chamber the same weight and influence in decision making. Chamber Delegates represent their chamber at assembly meetings and there they engage with the Delegates of other chambers to deliberate on issues of governance and standard development – and in some cases to vote. The Assembly approves modifications to the RSB Standard and appoints the Board of Directors to run the affairs of the RSB.
